SHIIIFT – Social Housing Ideas, Insights & Information for Tomorrow.

A community for Social Housing professionals guided by Social Housing professionals.

Shift Logo FINAL

At SHIIIFT, our purpose is simple: to share ideas, insights and information that strengthen the future of social housing across the UK.

Social housing is different. It isn’t a cut-throat marketplace; housing associations don’t compete so much as collaborate to deliver the best outcomes for residents. When one association cracks a complex problem, they often share the solution freely with others.

But what if we could widen those connections? What if more voices were in the room, more often? What if we tackled bigger, more complex challenges together, saving time and resources across the sector?

That’s where SHIIIFT comes in.

We create networks, events, roundtables and practical insights for managers across the social housing sector, with a focus on technology, digital, data and transformation.
